Thanks for giving Hollywood producers and studios the hell they deserve for making such crappy and uninspired films for the last fifteen years (worse almost every year). Remakes and sequels are for grifters. It's great that Rotten Tomatoes is able to preserve some integrity (registered critics) as IMDB ratings and reviews are now totally compromised. Big studio films budget for astroturfing IMDB. Everything that big capital can touch, they can and will undermine.

The talk was great as well. I'm not a huge fan of podcasts (prefer reading) but the NFS crew are a lively bunch.
